- About Me
I am Professor of Modern History at Cardiff University, where I teach a mix of British, Central and Eastern European history. My best-known books are Czechoslovakia: The State that Failed (Yale University Press) and Catholic Devotion in Victorian England (Oxford University Press). I founded and direct the Central and East European Research Centre at Cardiff University and set up the Czechoslovak Special Collection. I am currently writing a book for Yale University Press on Christianity behind the Iron Curtain. I have also begun work on two further projects: Bible-Smuggling behind the Iron Curtain and Reconsidering the Czechoslovak Political Trials.
